2014: Chinese growth to weaken further

We said:

Chinese debt has surged, but not to levels that could touch off a crisis wiping out the economy's catch-up potential. Even so, feeble growth and heightened financial distress are likely as Beijing deals with past excesses. China needs a weaker yuan to rebalance, but this could trigger financial turbulence as foreign currency debt is an issue. (LSR View 18th November 2014)

Outcome:

Chinese growth continues to slow. Authorities devalued the yuan in August 2015. This shocked markets and led to a global sell-off of risk assets.
